Abstract: We study a monomer-dimer model with repulsive interactions between the same species in one dimension. With infinitely strong interactions the model exhibits a continuous transition from a reactive phase to an inactive phase with two equivalent absorbing states. Static and dynamic Monte Carlo simulations show that the critical behavior at the transition is different from the conventional directed percolation universality class but is consistent with that of the models with the mass conservation of modulo 2. The values of static and dynamic critical exponents are compared with those of other models. We also show that the directed percolation universality class is recovered when a symmetry-breaking field is introduced.
